Every Time I Read This Quote I Always Think That Grrm Is Talking About Both Jon And Dany Because It Fits Them Both Perfectly - Tumblr Posts

Your usage of the Melisandre's words just blow my mind!

anon bear with me for a moment bc i’ve been dying to talk about this. so here’s the full exchange between jon and melisandre in a dance with dragons:

“Ghost,” he called. “To me.” The direwolf looked at him as if he were a stranger. Jon frowned in disbelief. “That’s … queer.”“You think so?” She knelt and scratched Ghost behind his ear. “Your Wall is a queer place, but there is power here, if you will use it. Power in you, and in this beast. You resist it, and that is your mistake. Embrace it. Use it.”I am not a wolf, he thought. “And how would I do that?”“I can show you.” Melisandre draped one slender arm over Ghost, and the direwolf licked her face. “The Lord of Light in his wisdom made us male and female, two parts of a greater whole. In our joining there is power. Power to make life. Power to make light. Power to cast shadows.”

among many other parallels and contrasts, this is probably the one i like the most. because melisandre is talking with jon about him and his direwolf but i immediately thought of daenerys and her dragons. daenerys spends most of the fifth book “denying” her dragons and her true self so she can be a queen and a mother to her people. and here we have melisandre telling jon that he should embrace his powers and ghost’s powers as well. and then she goes and talks about the power that a female and a male together can have. i mean, george isn’t talking about melisandre and jon here lol he is calling out for jon and dany’s struggle and then telling us that in their union there’s power to cast shadows and make light. i mean…………
